Sponsors
Reach people at the moment they're choosing a Linux distribution: switching from Windows, picking a gaming setup or comparing two options.
Current sponsor
The sponsor slot is open. Thanks for considering it.
What sponsors get
- A sponsor card in the sidebar of the home page, the rising chart, the picker and every distro page, plus the footer slot on every page: logo, name, one line and a link. One sponsor at a time, so it isn't lost among others.
- Placement across 553 distro pages, comparisons, the rising chart and the picker.
- A mention in the monthly State of Linux Distros email.
Founding sponsor offer
- Price: $150–500 a month, flat, invoiced monthly. The rate depends on term length and traffic at the time; we'll quote a number.
- Term: 3-month minimum, then month to month. The card switches off automatically when the term ends unless renewed.
- Exclusivity: one sponsor at a time, site-wide.
- Creative: logo (SVG or PNG), name, one line of up to 60 characters, a link. We set it live within two working days.
- Reporting: page views across your term, on request.
Audience and reach
The site is new; we publish visitor and page-view figures here as soon as we have a full month, and send current numbers on request.
Who visits: people choosing or switching Linux distributions, often from Windows or macOS; developers comparing server and desktop options; people picking a gaming setup. Pages are built for search, so most visitors arrive with a specific question ("Fedora vs Ubuntu", "which distro for an old laptop").
Good fits
Hosting and VPS providers, Linux hardware makers, developer tools, backup and privacy services, training and courses. We don't accept gambling, crypto token promotions, malware-adjacent tools or anything misleading.
What sponsorship doesn't buy
- Rankings, scores, "Pick if" notes, pros and cons or telemetry details. These stay independent.
- Reviews of your product or distro written by us.
- Unlabelled placements. Sponsor content is always marked "Sponsor".
Affiliate links
Some distro pages have a labelled "Try Linux in the cloud" box with affiliate links to server providers. We may earn a commission if you sign up. These partners don't influence rankings either.
Brand assets
Logos, colours and boilerplate for mentioning us are in the press kit; sponsors may use them in their own announcements.
